Role Based Access Control

Role based access control (RBAC) implies restricting authorized users to access certain aspects of the system. With RBAC, users can be granted access to only certain aspects of a system or platform and prevent them from accessing other information or systems.

To get an overview of the actions authorized for a particular user:

  1. From the top left corner of the screen, click .
  2. From the menu displayed, select Account > Role.

    The Role page is displayed.

  3. On the Role page, under the Name column, click on the name for which you want to see the permissions.
  4. To see the list of actions defined for the selected user, click Authorized functions.
  5. Under the Authorized functions tab, expandStudio and click Reports. A selected checkbox indicates that the corresponding action has been authorized for the user.
